Compress html pages with gzip
Here is another idea to speed up tor. Compress html/css/javascript (basically any text/* mime types) pages at the exit node with gzip, even if the website itself does not support it.
Most browsers support gzip, even if they dont, they wont request a gzip page anyway. But must websites do not do gzip compression so waste bandwidth.
gzip can make html code upto 8 times smaller. It would help with tor bandwidth and gzip is very fast.
I know html is probably the lowest bandwidth consumer tor has to worry about, but when your downloading at 2kb/sec it really does makes a difference if the page is 40kb or 8kb.
